Question 1

Is "Autumn Moon Cat" good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. "Autumn Moon Cat" is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Rachel breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Rachel is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Crafted Coffee and Wine, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.

Question 3

What's Rachel like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Rachel is a real local artist based in BLOOMINGTON — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 19 out of 20 guests who've painted with Rachel say the instruction was amazing. Saikrishnan S. said: 'We had a great time! Rachel was super friendly and super helpful the entire time. I didn't know I could paint so beautifully! Rachel made it so easy for us!'

Question 4

What's Crafted Coffee and Wine like?

Accepted Answer

Crafted Coffee and Wine is a local venue in BLOOMINGTON — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.

Question 5

Are there more Paint Nite events in BLOOMINGTON?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 4 upcoming events in BLOOMINGTON this month.

Question 6

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in BLOOMINGTON, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 7

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to "Autumn Moon Cat" includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Rachel. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Crafted Coffee and Wine — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 8

How long is "Autumn Moon Cat"?

Accepted Answer

Crafted Coffee and Wine's doors open at 6:00 AM, the event starts at 6:30 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:00 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Rachel starts the painting.

Question 9

What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.

Oh no! This event has just recently been cancelled.
